C-1 APPEAL TO THE BOARD OF ZONING ADJUSTMENT'S r •
CONDITIONAL EXCEPT• NO. :.-94 (PREVIOUSLY SCHEDULED FOR
APPLICANT/APPELLANT: CAROLYN DEDEN
Conditional Exception No. 86-94 is a request to permit a six foot
high block wall to encroach five feet into the required fifteen foot
front yard setback at 3402 Venture Drive (south side of Venture
Drive approximately 1,000 feet west of Sundancer Lane).
On December 3, 1986, the Board of Zoning Adjustments denied
Conditional Exception No. 86-94 by a vote of 5 to 0. The applicant
has initiated the appeal because in her opinion full consideration
was not given to all the facts that were available.at the time of
the hearing.
On April 11, 1986, a permit was issued for the east wall which
required a 15 foot front setback. The property owner extended the
east wall 5 feet into the required front yard setback which was not
in compliance with the building permit issued nor in compliance with
an approval for a wall on the west side by the Board of Zoning
Adjustments.
A prior entitlement, Conditional Exception No. 85-34, permitted a
five (5) foot encroachment for the wall on the opposite side of the
property in order to provide a security wall around a front yard
swimming pool. Conditional Exception No. 85-34 did not allow a
five (5) foot encroachment for the east wall. In addition, as of
December 31, 1986, the unpermitted fence extension has not been
reviewed or approved by the Trinidad Island Homeowner's
Association's architectural review committee.
Staff advised the applicant that in order to obtain a building
permit for the encroachment, a variance would need to be approved by
the BZA. On December 3, 1986, the BZA denied the applicant's
request for a 5 foot encroachment for the east wall.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
The proposed project is exempt pursuant to Class 5 Section 15305
from the provisions of the California Environmental Quality Act.
COASTAL STATUS:
Pursuant to Section 989.5.3.13(g), the proposed project is
categorically excluded from a coastal development permit.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Uphold the Board of Zoning Adjustment's denial and deny the appeal
based on the findings outlined in the report dated January 6, 1987.
PC Minutes - 1/21/87 -3- (7236d)
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED
Carolyn Deden, applicant, spoke in support of her request. She
presented permits issued to her by the City to construct a wall.
She does not feel that full consideration was given to her by the
Board of Zoning Adjustments because all of the facts were not
presented.
Francis Goodyear, 3422 Venture Drive, spoke in opposition to the
request. He paid for one half of the wall before construction and
he stated that he objects to the height of the wall which is 7 feet
high in places and its encroachment into th front yard setback.
George Deden, applicant, stated that the block wall is over six feet
high in some places; however, the top course is level and does
comply with the height requirements depending on the point at which
it is measured if one includes the grading within the planters. He
further stated that he cannot seek approval from the homeowner's
association until he gets approval from the City.
There were no other persons available to speak for or against the
project and the public hearing was closed.

Summerell, Silva
NOES: None
ABSENT: None
ABSTAIN: None
MOTION PASSED
PC Minutes - 1/21/87 -4- (7236d)
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL:
1. Because the subject property is an average size lot (6,480
square feet), has a normal rectangular configuration, and lacks
unique topographic features (the site is flat accept for normal
grading requirements), there does not appear to be exceptional
or extraordinary circumstances or conditions applicable to the
land, buildings or premises involved that does not apply
generally to property or class of uses in the same district.
2. As the evidence presented showed the subject property can be
fully developed within regular established setbacks, such a
Conditional Exception is not necessary for the preservation and
enjoyment of substantial property rights.
3. Granting of Conditional Exception No. 86-94 would constitute a
special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon properties
in the vicinity.
ADDITIONAL FINDING OF PLANNING COMMISSON:
1. Based on written documentation the 5 foot encroachment and the
finished height of the existing wall is not in compliance with
the variance granted July 3, 1985, nor does it comply with the
fence permit and site plan issued April 11, 1986.
C-2 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO.-86-58 AND CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION
NO. 86-110
APPLICANT: ARCO PETROLEUM PRODUCTS
Conditional Use Permit No. 86-58 is a request to alter an existing
gas station by adding a canopy and gas pumps at 18972 Beach
Boulevard, along the Garfield Avenue side of the property. As
required by the zoning code the gas station must be brought into
conformance with all current code requirements for service
stations. Conditional Exception No. 86-110 is a request to maintain
a 200 square foot planter at the corner of Beach Boulevard and
Garfield Avenue in lieu of 600 square feet, and a 5 foot wide
planter along Beach Boulevard in lieu of 10 feet.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
The proposed project is exempt under Class 1, Section 15301 from
California Environmental Quality Act.
REDEVELOPMENT,STATUS:
The subject property is within the Beach Boulevard Redevelopment
Project Area. The Redevelopment staff has reviewed the request and
encourages improved landscaping and signage. Overall landscaping
proposed for the site exceeds the required minimum 10% and
conditions of approval require an architecturally compatible
monument base be installed on the existing freestanding corner pole
sign.
PC Minutes - 1/21/87 -5- (7236d)
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Conditional Use Permit No. 86-58 and Conditional Exception
No. 86-110 as modified by staff based on the findings and conditions
of approval.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED ---
Carl Korndoeffor, Tait and Associates, spoke in support of the
proposal.
Bill Govey, representative from Arco, spoke in support of the
proposal. He stated that an average gasoline station sells
approximately 200,000 gallons of gas per month and this station is
only selling 88,000 gallons and that he would encourage the
Commission to approve the applicant's request because he felt that
it would improve the sales of the station.
Mike Othman, manager, spoke in support of the proposal. He
expressed concern over Condition #6 prohibiting the operation of a
snack shop. He stated that his station does contain vending
machines and would like to keep them.
There were no other persons present to speak for or against the
project and the public hearing was closed.
The Commission expressed concern with the access point from the
station site to the adjacent commercial center, the height of the
price signs and the lack of ground cover in the planter areas. They
felt that the spandrel signs should be deleted from the elevation
plans and that the applicant should work with staff to relocate the
price signs within another wider landscaped planter area.

C-3 CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT NO, 86-62/CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION
NO, 86-107/SPECIAL SIGN PERMIT NO, 86-15
APPLICANT: LA PETITE ACADEMY
Conditional Use Permit No. 86-62 is a request to permit a day care
center for 180 children in a commercial zone. The parcel of land is
located within Newland Center at 19860 Beach Boulevard, south of the
Newland House and east of the Landmark Building.
Conditional Exception No. 86-107 is a request to allow a 6 foot high
wrought iron fence in lieu of the required 6.foot high masonry
fence. A letter from the applicant has been received requesting
that Special Sign Permit No. 86-15 be withdrawn.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
The environmental impacts of the project were covered in EIR 79-3.
The site was analyzed as a 21,000 square foot office building with
greater traffic impacts than the day care center.
REDEVELOPMENT STATUS:
The project lies within the boundaries of the Beach Boulevard
Redevelopment Project area. The Redevelopment staff has reviewed
PC Minutes - 1/21/87 -9- (7236d)
this project and approves of this use within Newland Center.
Because this parcel is located adjacent to the Newland House, staff
recommends that the project be reviewed by the Design Review Board.
In addition, the Redevelopment Department requests that this project
be conditioned that the owner of the Newland Center enter into an
irrevocable reciprocal access agreement with the property to the
north of the Newland Center.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Approve Conditional Use Permit No. 86-62 and Conditional Exception
No. 86-107 based on the findings and conditions of approval and
accept the withdrawal of Special Sign Permit No. 86-15.
THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED
Joe Remsa, applicant, spoke in support of the project. He stated
that he had real concern with the condition -regarding the
irrevocable access agreement. He feels the condition is vague and
should be removed.
The Deputy City Attorney was asked for a legal opinion regarding
this condition since some of the Commissioners did not feel that the
applicant should be conditioned for an agreement involving the
owners of the property.
The Attorney stated that the condition requested an offer to enter
into an irrevocable agreement only and could legally be imposed
under this entitlement.
Mark Spiegel, owner of the property to the north of the subject
site, stated that he is willing and ready to enter into a reciprocal
agreement for access. He wants to recycle his property and would
like to develop plans for better ingress and egress. He feels that
there will be an increase in traffic due to this project and wants
the impending dangerous situation addressed.
There were no other persons present to speak for or against the
project and the public hearing was closed.
The representative of the Newland Center property owner was asked if
any discussions had occurred regarding the reciprocal agreement.
Mr. John Bouva, property owner representative, stated that he had
just received a letter requesting the agreement. He feels that
since he does not know what the expansion plans are for the property
to the north that the condition regarding the agreement is unfair to
the applicant and the property owner.
Some of the Commissioners felt that the condition requiring an offer
for agreement should be imposed since this may be the last
entitlement requested on the property in that it was the last vacant
parcel. There is not a time frame imposed on the condition and this
merely requires an offer to be made by the property owners. They
also felt that since Beach Boulevard had been designated as a Super
Street that now was the time to improve the ingress and egress to
these centers.

from Frankfort Avenue and an existing alley located at 811 Frankfort
Avenue (west side of Frankfort Avenue approximately 150 feet north
of Hill Avenue). Conditional Exception No. 86-103 is a request to
permit a 5 foot sideyard setback in lieu of 10.5 feet for the
proposed carport and a 19 foot driveway in lieu of 22 feet.
ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS:
The proposed projects are exempt
and 15305 from the provisions of
Quality Act.
SPECIFIC PLAN:
pursuant to Class 1 Section 15301
the California Environmental
The project is located within the Oldtown Specific Plan -District One.

THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED
Kevin Vidal, applicant and property owner, spoke in support of the
project. He stated that there are no parking or traffic problems on
his street and that his proposed driveway would provide two more
parking spaces for the residence. He further stated that another
homeowner on the street was granted a curb cut.
Martin Steigner, Academy Builders, spoke in support of the proejct.

parking spaces and that the carport is not detrimental to the
surrounding neighborhood.' He stated that this particular street
ends 120 yards away from the house and that there are no existing
traffic problems.

r�
There were no other persons present to speak for or against the
project and the public hearing was closed.
Some of the Commissioners were concerned that conditional exceptions
had already been granted in the neighborhood. A discussion ensued
regarding the reasons for granting the other exceptions (the widths
and shapes of the lots were unusual causing hardships to the
property owners). Staff stated that this particular lot is 75 feet
in width which is not a hardship.
Commissioner Schumacher stated that she was not in favor of
supporting a proposal that would gain one more designated space for
the user and eliminate a public parking space. The granting of this
exception without a proven hardship on the property would be setting
a precedent in the area.
Commissioner Higgins stated that there are six enclosed garages on
the alley (two for each unit) and did not feel there was a necessity
for parking off the driveway.

FINDINGS, BY THE FOLLOWING VOTE:
AYES: Leipzig, Schumacher, Pierce, Higgins
NOES: Livengood, Summerell, Silva
ABSENT: None

1. The establishment, maintenance and operation of the proposed
driveway may be detrimental to:
a. The general welfare of persons residing or working in the
vicinity;
b. Property and improvements in the vicinity of such use or
building.
2. The granting of the site plan review will adversely affect the
General Plan of the City of Huntington Beach.
3. The granting of the site plan review is not necessary in order
to preserve the enjoyment of one or more substantial property
rights because adequate parking can be provided on site
without taking access off of Frankfort Avenue.
PC Minutes - 1/21/87 -15- (7236d)
FINDINGS FOR DENIAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO. 86-103:
1. Because the 9,000 square foot lot does not exhibit unique
configurut.ion, shape or topographic features, there does not
appear to be exceptional or extraordinary circumstances or
conditions applicable to the land, buildings or premises
involved that does not apply generally to property or class of
uses in the same district.
2. Since the subject property can be fully developed within
regular established setbacks, and all parking requirements can
be met on site, such a Conditional Exception is not necessary
for the preservation and enjoyment of substantial property
rights.
3. Granting of Conditional Exception No. 86-103 would constitute
a special privilege inconsistent with limitations upon
properties in the vicinity.
4. Exceptional circumstances do not apply that deprive the
subject property of privileges enjoyed by other properties in
the same zone classifications since it can be fully developed
with the maximum number of units allowed by code.

THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED
James Ziething, applicant, spoke in support of the project. He
stated that he has already spent quite a lot of money for
construction and would like to have been informed that he might not
be approved before going through plan check. He needs the lot split
so that he can complete his construction.
Mary Parker, 7216 Havenrock Drive, spoke in support of the project.
Tom Van Tuyl, 1722 Park Street, spoke in support of the project. He
stated that the approval of the lot split will enable the applicant
to build two single family homes. He also stated that he would like
to see the code amended at a later date.
There were no other persons present to speak for or against the
project and the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Silva stated that he felt the code should be changed
and the procedure corrected but felt, however, that the applicant
should be granted an approval because other lots splits had been
granted previously.
Chairman Pierce felt that an approval should be given so that the
applicant would not be penalized and detained in plan check because
of bad timing by the City.

FINDINGS FOR APPROVAL - CONDITIONAL EXCEPTION NO, 86-111:

is necessary in order to preserve the enjoyment of one or more
